Learning Difficulties

Research shows that as many as 9% of the population in Ireland may have a Specific Learning Difficulty (SPLD). Many people are diagnosed as having Dyslexia, which impacts on one or more of the basic processes involved in using or understanding written or spoken language.

In fact there is much overlap between the different SPLDs, leading to people having trouble finding the right words to express their ideas and experiencing difficulties in understanding other people's use of language. They may affect a person's ability to interact socially and to understand other people's feelings and emotions. SPLD's can also impact on a person's motor skills and can cause difficulty in undertaking many normal everyday tasks, to varying degrees.
